Drink
The Jericho Tavern
An upmarket pub which is a great place for a drink and maybe some food. Also has a stage upstairs that is famous for being the place that Radiohead played their first show.
Eat
Brasserie Blanc
Raymond Blanc’s French brasserie is intimate and full of charm. Considering the quality of the food, prices are extremely reasonable – a rack of lamb, potatoes and cabbage will set you back £17.50, and for vegetarians the grilled Crottin goats’ cheese and beetroot tart is an exquisite choice. A great place for a date or to bring your mother.
11AM – 11PM
Drink
Freud
This bar and restaurant occupy a grand neo-classical church building producing a unique, slightly austere atmosphere. When buzzing with people, this becomes a great place for an evening out; the restaurant area is cleared to become a dance floor later in the evening. They serve a range of cocktails from about £3 upwards.
Drink
The Gardener's Arms
Very pretty with a beer garden, and an excellent all-vegetarian menu with vegan dishes offered as well.
